An impressive feat of engineering and architecture, The Caribbean SandCastle brings you closer to the sand and water than any home on the Caribbean. This beautiful pink-sand beach is lapped by shallow water that is usually as calm as a lake. Caribbean SandCastle faces west so you can enjoy the most wonderful sunsets over the sea every evening from your decks and windows. Caribbean SandCastle, formerly Cool Cloud House, is now under new ownership. The owner added a NEW BEACHFRONT POOL AND HOT TUB! The Caribbean SandCastle is located on Alabaster Beach, one of the most stunning and pristine beaches in the Caribbean, featured on the cover of Conde Nast Traveler's December 2012 issue. Remodeled in 2021 and decorated with custom contemporary furnishings, The Caribbean SandCastle has a spacious interior plus extensive wrap-around decks and outside space. The Caribbean SandCastle's great room, suspended over the beach, is divided into three spaces. The Entertainment area has a flat-screen TV, DVD, and hi-fi sound system. The kitchen, dining area, and breakfast nook offer contemporary cooking and dining with extensive beach and ocean views. The ultra-modern kitchen features all stainless-steel appliances including French-door refrigerator, glass top range, wall oven, dishwasher, and microwave. The third space, the Chill Out area, hovers over the sea, giving a view and proximity to the water found in few houses anywhere in the world. Both the Chill Out Room and the Entertainment area have sofa beds (a total of 2 sofa beds in all). The Caribbean SandCastle has four bedrooms, each with a luxurious bath (either en suite or across the hall) and an ocean-view deck. Two of the baths have showers; the other two have shower/tub combinations. Watch the sunset from your bedroom window, or step onto your deck for a morning coffee, feed the birds or fish, and listen to the Caribbean lapping on the sand. One bedroom has a king bed, two have queen beds, and one has twin beds that can be converted to a king. Each room has its own AC air handler and can set its own temperature. Outside on the beach, beneath the elevated platform of the house, The Caribbean SandCastle has a large shaded dining area where you can grill your catch of the day and dine on the water's edge. An outdoor shower is also located nearby at the back of the house for easy access to rinse off. Amenities at The Caribbean SandCastle include full AC, super-fast Starlink WIFI, Apple TV, advanced water purification system, and laundry room with a washer and dryer. Two paddleboards and two kayaks are provided, including a large three-person kayak well equipped for fishing or taking a longer journey. The town of Governors Harbour, a ten-minute drive from the property, has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. Buy fresh fish and lobster every afternoon from fisherman at the town dock, or visit the recently restored Haynes Library, which dates from 1897, for the weekly coffee hour for foreign residents and tourists. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic. Friday Night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour, a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street, is not to be missed. Eleuthera is famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The island, home to just 8000 residents, where everyone knows everyone, is known for being very safe. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. You can rent power boats, sailboats, sea kayaks, bikes.

The privacy of the bedrooms and bathrooms was wonderful. The kayaks and snorkling equipment made water activities fun and easy. The immediate access to the beach is unbelievable. The assistance if the property manager, Sonya, was tremendous. What a simply stunning place to vacation. Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jill B. 21 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family vacation Three generations from college students to grandparents stayed here for a week. The place was very beautiful and the privacy of the beach couldn’t be better. Eleuthera is an island where you have to drive a little bit further to get places and there are major power issues on the island which is not the fault of the house, but I wish we had been aware of that as there were several long stretches where we did not have power. But if you’re OK with the remoteness of that type of island, it can be a fun adventure. ##### Jill B.

Reviewer Comments: This home was even better than advertised! The home is spacious and well appointed. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked. Three generations of our family shared a week of relaxation and joy. We played games, swam in the pool and Caribbean sea daily.The beach was easy to access and the ocean was clean and clear, We took out the paddle board every day and used the kayaks as well. The pool was refreshing and the hot tub was heated upon my arrival, as requested. A wonderful time was had by all! Thank you Caribbean SandCastle for a vacation we will remember forever. ##### Katherine k.

Reviewer Comments: The property was everything we were looking for. Very private beach, I think we saw maybe 7 or 8 people walking on the beach the entire week. The house was very nice and well taken care of. Property is as advertised. I would definitely return to this property for another vacation. Our toddler loved having the beach and ocean right out the backdoor. Sonya, the property manager was wonderful as well. She was there to help us whenever we needed anything before or during the trip. ##### Chad L.

The house was exactly as shown. There is a new house next door which is not reflected in the pictures. We were a little disappointed in the pool/hot tub. We paid extra to have them heated. The pool water was so low we had to put the hose in it. The jets were above the water line. The hot tub was basically empty. Once that was taken care of we used it the rest of the week. This home is a great size especially for a group. The beach is PERFECTION! Thank you to the people of Eleuthera for being so gracious and sharing your beautiful island with us. ##### Mark H. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Cindy K. 17 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Great Week at Caribbean Sandcastle! We had a great week at Caribbean Sandcastle! Our party consisted of 4 adults & 3 kids (aged 9, 11, 13). We flew into Governor's Harbor which was just minutes from the house, picked up our rental vehicle, and the property manager kindly allowed us to drop off our luggage on the porch since we couldn't check in early. The proximity of the house to the road was a non-issue for us. There is a small house next door, but we still felt like we had the beach to ourselves. And what a wonderful beach! The kids rotated from the beach to the pool to the hot tub all day long; it was perfect. We found some snorkeling masks under the house that the kids used. We brought a beach canopy tent with us and used it every day for shade on the beach, which I highly recommend. The kitchen is well stocked and we enjoyed several home cooked meals. One day we bought fresh fish from the fisherman who went out right in front of the house - talk about fresh seafood! The beds were all comfortable, there were plenty of bath and beach towels. The wireless speakers were a great idea and we used them constantly. The washer/dryer were large and efficient. The sofas were not comfortable, but most of the time we were playing games at the dining table anyway. Overall, the beach was fabulous, the pool/hot tub were wonderful, and we enjoyed our time at Caribbean Sandcastle! ##### Cindy K. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Karen S. 18 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### CARIBBEAN SANDCASTLE - A PERFECT FAMILY GETAWAY The location is paradise, as promised. The house is brilliantly designed, with two bedrooms and baths at one end and two more bedrooms and baths at the other. In between is open-concept with a living room facing the ocean, a kitchen and large dining area, and an entertainment area. The deck surrounding the house provides lots of areas in sun and shade. The infinity pool and hot tub are special treats. A tip about food: If you are vegetarian or gluten intolerant, bring some of your own food.The only disappointments concerned property maintenance issues. An electrical problem caused there to be no lighting in parts of the kitchen and all of the living room, so we couldn't congregate there in the evening. There was no heat in the hot tub. The safe was already locked and therefore not accessible. The doorhandle to one bathroom was not attached. The water station was not delivered, so it was a challenge for us to handle the very heavy 18 litre jugs. The property manager was there to meet us at check in, but was away during the week of our stay and so these problems were not resolved.Otherwise, this location is... WOW! The beach is perfect, and a large sand bar creates a gentle entrance to the Caribbean. The water is crystal clear, allowing us to see many species of fish including gentle stingrays and non-threatening small sharks. A boat excursion took us to a bay where we fed turtles and stingrays, and another where we fed swimming pigs. WOW! ##### Karen S. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Paul V. 6 Apr 2025 #### Great home, with a few minor issues The house was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for my family of five. A couple of issues, the communication from the Concierge they assign to the home was not good and she should be replaced. The reservation portion had great communication. The grill was so dirty and so much grease in it we did not want to use it because it looked like it would cause a grease fire. The Hot tub is cracked and leaking and has to be filled every day. The Hot tub blower does not work. They sent someone over but he had no idea how to fix it, he said he just cleans the pool. We wiggled the wires and it did turn on but never worked again the rest of the trip. The wires are exposed and the protective cover is missing on the blower. This is in an area a kids can reach it from the pool deck. The switch on the outlet is loose and does not appear to be on a GFCI circuit. Several of the glass tiles on the pool and hot tub are missing and falling off, a whole sheet in one place is coming off, leaving glass edges exposed where kids could cut themselves. Some deck boards are loose and will need attention soon. I have an ocean front rental home in Florida and I know these homes take a lot of maintenance but these are issues that really need to be taken care of by the owner and this would be a five star home. Condition issues all related to items I listed. I took pictures to post but unfortunately this review does not allow pictures. ##### Paul V.

The house has everything you need and the sunsets are amazing. Pool and hot tub are great. Property management addressed our minor issues promptly. Highly recommended. ##### David W.

Reviewer Comments: We stayed for two weeks and loved every minute. The location is to die for. The beach is literally steps from the house. Shells galore, bountiful tide pools and calm seas. Beautiful sunsets. Every amenity you can think of. Kitchen has everything you could want. Open concept layout and two living areas. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom. Locaton is good and being right on Queen's Highway means you don't spend a lot of time making your way out of the neighborhoods getting there. Some road noise but you forget about it when you look at where you are. Would rent again and would recommend. ##### Ramona J.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Caribbean Sandcastle! It's not our first time staying in this beautiful pristine home. We love the privacy this home offers, and the secluded beach is heaven on earth! The kitchen is well stocked with whatever you'll need to prepare everything from the basics to gourmet meals. The water pressure in the showers is comparable to the same pressure as back home. The bedding is so soft and comfy, and with the layout of the house , noise isn't a problem for those wanting to nap or have quiet time! I'm ready to book again! I'd like to add one thing... Upon our departure, we accidentally left a few valuable personal items behind. Before we got to the airport in North Eleuthera and realized this, I recieved a call from the property manager telling me that the housekeeping staff found the items and had them safely in their possession. They worked with us in getting them back safe and sound. We were very grateful. I love Eleuthera! ##### Laura P. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mvikeli N. 9 Aug 2023 #### Perfect!

With three kids under the age of 9 we sought a home with useable beach and calm, shallow ocean waters. And we got. Exactly that. ##### Mvikeli N. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick G. 25 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We have stayed at a few different house on the island and this was far and a way the best. You are right on an incredible sand beach and the pool looks over it. The house itself is very well kept and comfortable. We ran into a bit of an “island snafu” and both the owner and property manager were very concerned and helpful. The only comment that I might make is the title of the listing uses the word private. You definitely have neighbors, but your lot is large enough. We will be back! ##### Patrick G.

Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly C. 25 Nov 2025 #### Trip of a lifetime! Paradise Found 🌴 waking up to incredible views at the Caribbean SandCastle on Receivers Beach was an absolute dream 😍 a literal castle on the sand!! The house included every amenity you could desire, they've thought of it all. An oasis for both adventure and quiet reflection. Our family enjoyed the beautiful sunsets, paddleboarding, beach games, pool/hot tub time and hunting for sanddollars in the water! In water Happy hour and coffee on the secluded beach in the mornings was not to be missed! We loved watching sunsets from the hot tub and cooking on the grill after a day out exploring. The house is convienently located and is the perfect home base. Close to all the necessities but was serene and private. The best of both worlds! We flew into ELH and it was an easy (beautiful) drive but may try flying into Governor's Harbor next time so we can get to paradise within a couple minutes! Both great options. This was our first trip to Eleuthera, a special place indeed ❤️ thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! We can't wait to come back to the Caribbean SandCastle 🌊 ##### Kelly C.

Archival ### 10/10 Excellent 26 Apr 2014 #### Wonderful vacation Great vacation. Property close to highway. Although walk out deck and on beach in seconds. Beach chairs and umbrella would have been helpful as group wanted to explore other beaches on island. Would stay here again. Ms. Mattie (housekeeper) so sweet. Matthew and his company a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this property and all affiliated.
